Flowers has been picking up the nuances of Left tackle. He 's played along side 3 left guards and is holding his own, and I see improvement. For Example: There is a technique when Left Tackles use their leverage to ride a defender right past the QB so he isn't touched. He has been stepping inside of bull rushers and neutralizing that move. He is playing more confidently.
I listed statistics of the Giants accomplishments this so far this season.
It looks like opponents don't have any more sacks against us then we do. Our Defense has 8 sacks as opposed to the opponents 8 sacks against us. For example we only have 2 rushing TD's against us and our TD came from Eli.
Giants not far away from a win !

"He didn't ruin the game". - Shaun O'Hara
So does his cage. he should start there
"He didn't ruin the game". - Shaun O'Hara
Agree.
9th overall pick.
No, but why do we need to be content with participation trophies? Like Shaun said, "He didn't ruin the game". Others have been more than capable of doing that for him.
Hart has played in one game this year.
We need to go Two TE, with another TE at H Back and Eli under center, and start pounding. Yes, we won't get results right away, but it will help in the long run. Being in "11" 90% of the time is killing this team.
any good defensive end will eat him up. One of the main reasons why we are 0-4.
To highlight the desperate nature of the situation, the OP is giving credit to Ereck for beginning to pick up the nuances of playing LT. It has only taken the man(child for defenders of Ereck) 59 games starting at LT to begin to do so. Can't wait for the next 60 games where he becomes proficient.
Even though its a short professional window for Football players. Offensive lineman can play a good 10 years or more if they pick the nuances of the position. As life goes I'm sure you have experienced a wipe out or 2 before you became great at surfing.

Flowers is garbage
he cannot play in space and his run blocking is shit. he cannot pull and make it to the point of attack
I wish there was some way to get Chad Wheeler into the lineup
We should realize if he can play we now have the nucleus of a young line.
and the David Wilson pick really set the OL back
